Winona WelcomesYouCongratulations - you have found it: the Midwest’s most beloved and best kept secret. From its sculpted bluffs to its mighty river and all the places in between, Winona has unparalleled beauty mixed with a cool urbanity and old-world charm that proves that yes, you really can have it all in one enchanting place.

The gilded era of lumber barons and paddle-wheelers is immortalized here in the lavish architecture that has become a hallmark of this picturesque river hamlet. Elaborate cornices, grand buildings, and vibrant stained glass beckon for a stroll through the historic downtown today just as they did a century ago, and all who pass this way agree that Winona is truly a beautiful place.

For outdoor lovers, whatever your version of relaxing is - whether it is swinging on a bench by the lake or tackling a wicked mountain bike trail, whether it is a tranquil hike in the woods or whirlybirds on a wake board - Winona is a paradise.

But Winona loves its indoor recreation too, and the arts scene here is as cosmopolitan as you’ll find anywhere. Browse original paintings by greats like Picasso and Van Gogh, immerse yourself in the music of international masters like Yo-Yo Ma, and contemplate Shakespeare with our world-class theater company. Together with music and film festivals, art shows, and museums for every interest, this extraordinary array of arts and culture leaves no doubt that Winona is not just another pretty face.

Indeed, this community has the best of all worlds wrapped into one delightful destination, a remarkable city regarded as a treasure by those who find it. Whether for a day or a week, we invite you to visit and see for yourself why, no matter where your interests lay, everyone loves Winona.

“We hope you enjoy your stay in Winona & plan a return trip soon! With so many amazing things to

Winona Top Voted “Most Beautiful Place in Minnesota” – Rand McNally, Route 66 Best of the Road competition,

October 2013

“Part of the fun of a day trip is the journey there and back, and if you take Hwy. 61 south of the Twin Cities, you can hug the Mississippi River on your way to the state’s corner and the Winona area. What do you have when you get there? A

beautiful old Main Street, plenty of intriguing places to visit, and an overall charm that permeates the city & surrounding area.”

– City Pages, “Best Day Trip 2013,” March 2013

“Whether you’re into paddling or Picasso, Beethoven or bluegrass, history or hiking, Winona is the perfect blend of

natural beauty, vibrant arts, and Old-World charm.” – Minnesota Monthly, “Stay & Play: Top 20 Things to Do and

See this Summer,” June 2013

“In the 1850s, a bustling steamboat landing and logging town was tucked into the foot of the bluffs, supplying

timber for the sprouting town of Winona. Today, the bluffs make great spots for viewing fall’s colors…This is the

home of peace, wind and hawks.” – Star Tribune, “Weekend away at Winona’s John A. Latsch

State Park,” October 12, 2013

“Then cross the street to the endless park shouldering the city’s other watery idol, Lake Winona. Rock in the romantic

swings for two, catch a free concert at the bandshell, or head to the lodge for free rental of canoes and bikes, or in

wintertime, cross-country skis and skates. Or stroll the levee, counting soaring eagles and low-slung barges muscling

down the river before it’s time to hit the highway once again.” – Lavender Magazine, “Queen of the River,” April 4, 2013

of thetown

“But this outstanding art museum at 800 Riverview Drive isn’t the only reason to visit Winona…Winona also has other cultural attractions, including many examples of outstanding

19th-century architecture, plus festivals and outdoor activities focused on the river and surrounding countryside.”

– Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “High Points of River City Winona,” March 1, 2013

Don’t know where to begin? Check out our sample itineraries here, or click on VisitWinona.com to view themed itineraries, geared toward the outdoor enthusiast, arts lover, and more.

1/2 DAY: Begin your journey with a drive to Garvin Heights Overlook where you can take in a spectacular view: the winding Mississippi River, trails, and lakes surrounding the entire city of Winona.

Stop into Bloedow Bakery—”Top 50 Best Donut Shops in the United States” by Saveur Magazine, March 2013—to sample their famous maple long johns or more than a dozen other varieties of baked goods, all made from the original recipes since 1924.

Next, head to the Winona County History Center located in Winona’s downtown to learn more about what put Winona on the map: from our booming lumber industry in the 1800s to our connections with Fastenal, Watkins and Wincraft.

Finally, take a spin around Winona’s East Lake in a canoe or kayak, available for a minimal fee to rent through the city’s Park and Recreation Department.

FULL DAY: If you have an entire day to spend in the city, start at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum which boasts an impressive collection of water-inspired paintings, sculptures and more. Monet, Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh can all be seen right here in Winona.

Stroll through downtown Winona with more than 100 National Register historic sites, specialty and antique shops, restaurants and more.

Stop into one of a half dozen coffeehouses in the downtown area to treat yourself to a frothy caffeinated beverage or a fresh deli sandwich. Local ingredients are celebrated here.

Remember “The Watkins Man?” See history and product displays of one of the country’s oldest direct selling companies at the Watkins Heritage Museum. Free admission allows visitors to peruse a timeline of the J. R. Watkins Naturals Company and even purchase current Watkins products.

800.657.4972 | 11

Weekend: Day 1Begin your weekend excursion by hopping on the Trester Trolley and taking a guided tour of the city of Winona in a beautifully restored trolley car. Clarence packs his tours with Winona’s rich history, and some facts residents may not even know.

Ready for an experience of a lifetime?! Contact Winona’s Outdoor Education & Recreation Center located on the Winona State University campus. Guides will lead you through the backwaters of the Mississippi in kayaks or rock climbing up Sugar Loaf in the summer, or snowshoeing through the bluff side in the winter.

Garvin Heights Vineyards is the perfect place to try more than a dozen wines produced right here in Winona using Minnesota grapes. Their deck offers a 7-mile view, allowing you to unwind and relax with a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers.

Day 2Start your morning with a visit to Windom Park just off Huff Street. The fountain has a bronze statue of Princess Wenonah, for which the city is named, surrounded by historic, Victorian-era homes will captivate you.

Stop in at Basilica of St. Stanislaus Kostka—one of only two basilicas in Minnesota and 70th in the United States—and see why the church is such a prominent fixture in the city’s skyline. Ornate domes are adorned with beautiful stained glass windows dedicated to various saints with inscriptions in Polish.

Continue your journey of Winona’s Polish ancestry at the Polish Cultural Institute & Museum along Second Street.

Visit Lake Park and walk along the paths, stroll the Rose Garden and take in the view of the historic Band Shell where concerts are still held in the summertime. Veterans’ Park also offers remembrance to those who have fought for our country.

Top off your stay with a night on the town. Dine at one of our many local eateries, offering a variety of fare from fresh, gourmet burgers to decadent local duck confit. Next, take in an evening performance during the festival season or at Winona’s college campuses. A night cap can be found at an abundance of pubs or watering holes in the city.

Sugar Loaf Bluff.

Reaching nearly 85 feet into the sky, Sugar Loaf is a storied symbol of Winona and known by all as its most distinguishing landmark. The result of quarrying in the late 1800’s, the bluff is synonymous with an old Native American legend that paints the rock as the cap of Dakota Chief Wapasha. Hiking trails along its back side offer adventure seekers a unique vantage point to see the city. Corner of Highway 61 & 43.

Minnesota Beethoven Festival June 29-July 20, 2014 www.mnbeethovenfestival.org

The bluffs are alive…with the sound of sonatas

The Minnesota Beethoven Festival fills salons, auditoriums, and a majestic outdoor band shell with the delicate refrains of history’s most important classical works, performed by some of its most celebrated names.

Legendary flute virtuoso Sir James Galway will be in Winona as part of the 2014 Minnesota Beethoven Festival. Other featured artists of the Festival’s eighth season include violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnen-berg, double bassist Edgar Meyer, the Attaca String Quartet, the New York Chamber Soloists with pianist Anton Kuerti, and the Boston Brass. Baritone Thomas Hampson is returning to the Festival for a third recital appearance, and beloved choral conductor Dale Warland will once again lead the Festival Chorale in a special weekend of concerts. The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra will be making a return visit to Winona as well, with an all-Beethoven program including Beethoven’s “Emperor” Piano Concerto featuring Festival Artistic and Managing Director Ned Kirk.

Great River Shakespeare FestivalJune 25-August 3, 2014www.grsf.org

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears

This nationally recognized festival, which draws audiences from across the Midwest and acclaimed actors from across the country, fills each Winona summer with a full slate of world-class entertainment. The Great River Shakespeare Festival offers professional theatre productions, concerts, lectures, education and community outreach programs each summer from late June to early August. Since 2004, the festival has enriched the enjoyment of Shake-speare’s plays for diverse and enthusiastic audiences from far and wide.

“The Merry Wives of Windsor,” directed by Paul Barnes; “Hamlet,” directed by James Edmonson; and “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” by Tom Stoppard — are the highlights of the 2014 season. Also included is the intern and apprentice project “Troilus and Cressida.”

Built on the pastoral shore of the Mississippi River and surrounded by swaying native prairie plantings, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum boasts a collection of fine art that rivals even the most cosmopolitan cities.

Local folk art and visiting internationally-acclaimed shows, as well as a sunny terrace for whiling away some time, round out this museum’s much-celebrated offerings.
